The Town has received an application for a proposed Use Not Listed (short stay accommodation) at Lot 1 (No. 88) Reid Street, Ashfield. This is to enable the property to be advertised on host platforms such as Airbnb and Stayz for short term leasing.

A summary of the proposed development is as follows:

• Check-in would be generally from 2pm to 10pm and check-out is from 7am to 10am. The property manager or owners would meet every guest at or shortly after their arrival time.
• Amplified music outside, or inside if the windows / doors are not closed will be prohibited.
• Use of the side alfresco area will be prohibited before 7am and after 10pm which will help minimise excessive noise to adjacent neighbours.
